Pleased to unveil the first published poems of the year, two brand new ones, “Cotton” and “Younger than I” , now up and running at the excellent print and online literary magazine Better than Starbucks

Edify’s mission is to “offer positive and uplifting fiction content by new and established authors. For our readers, it is all things good or true or romantic or beautiful or lovely”. Nice to see a lit zine with that mission, please take a gander, read up, enjoy, and spread the word. Thanks!

Happy to have a new essay of mine titled “No Fear,” published in the latest edition of Two Cities Review, a fine literary magazine with roots in Brooklyn and Chicago. As the editors say in their header, this one is a “story about the holiday season that will get you thinking about Christmas in a new way.”

Happy to be a repeat contributor to a fine literary zine out of Ann Arbor titled The Big Windows Review. A new poem of mine, “Interstate 65 Revisited” was just featured in the latest online edition and will resurface in print, early 2019. Check out the zine, check out the poem (below), and as always, thanks for the read, Doug

Chuffed to have a flash fiction of mine, “Red-Tailed Hawk,” in the latest edition of Ambush Review, a fine San Francisco based literary zine. It arrived in the post today, looks/reads great, and makes me think of City Lights and so much great literary history from the city by the bay. Enjoy the read (reprinted below), seek ’em out if you can, and support your local scene, wherever you may be. Thanks Ambush. Doug.
